Aldi Motorbike Tank Bag Review

Image
I've been looking for a tank bag for a while as I need to carry a lot of stuff to work everyday. I saw this in the Aldi Motorbike special buy promotion and thought I would give it a try as it was only £12.99 Its alot bigger than I expected and seems to be well made with large good quality zips. It comes with all the straps you would need as well as a handy elasticated rain cover. There are 4 strong magnets to hold it to the fuel tank and they seem to be very effective. The front of the bag has a clear plastic cover with a recess for sat navy etc. It also has a headphone hole leading from the front pocket to the main pocket. If you are looking for some cheap extra storage space on your bike I would highly recommend this product. 

LED Daytime Running Light Conversion

Another LED lighting upgrade on my Zontes Panther.

Reflective Wheel Rim Tape

Image
Another slight upgrade to my Zontes Panther. I ordered some reflective rim tape from eBay to test out. It wasn't the easiest to fit as the circumference of my wheels didn't quite match the tape but I managed to get it on after a bit of messing about. Tip:- Its very important to clean the wheel rim with soap and water but also with some methylated spirit or alcohol to completely prepare it and to remove any break dust and grime. 

LED indicator (turn signal) upgrade

Image
I decided to upgrade the indicators on my Zontes Panther to LED. They are a lot brighter than the traditional bulbs and flash on and off with no dimming. The next step is to upgrade the running lights to LED. The bulbs were from ebay and cost £2.49 each ($4). I checked with my local friendly traffic cop and they confirmed that they are road legal (in the UK).
